WHERE OLIVE TREES WEEP offers a searing window into the struggles and resilience of the Palestinian people under Israeli occupation. Following, among others, Palestinian journalist and therapist Ashira Darwish, grassroots activist Ahed Tamimi, and Israeli journalist Amira HassIt, the film explores themes of loss, trauma, and the quest for justice. We also witness Dr. Gabor Maté offer trauma-healing work to a group of women who were tortured in Israeli prisons.

This emotional journey bares the humanity of the oppressed while grappling with the question: what makes the oppressor so ruthlessly blind to its own cruelty?
